I've been with my girlfriend for a few months now. Things were going well but yesterday she told me that she has been cutting herself on her arms and legs because she "feels alone". I just don't understand why people cut themselves because I guess I've never been there before. Why do you think people cut and what should I do to help my girlfriend?
-
Slap her with your dick.
-
Step 1: alert her parents Step 2: suggest she seek professional help Step 3: break up with her
-
Tell her to talk to a therapist or other professional.
-
For all those people saying that physical pain is easier than emotional pain, no matter how tough times have been for me, papercuts fucking sting like hell.
-
She is horribly weak and easily susceptible to anything. Just dump the baggage before it escalates.
-
Physical pain numbs emotional pain, trust me. The best thing you can do for her is to make it clear to her that you're there if she needs anyone to talk to or just be with.
-
Why do they cut? -Mostly it's because the physical pain is easier to deal with than emotional pain to them.
-
Have you ever thought about talking to her about it? Surely, if ANYONE knows what she's thinking, it's her

Edited by A 3 Legged Goat: 1/21/2013 11:36:46 PMTry to help her reach out to somebody and get some sort of help - even if she says she doesn't want to. If you care about her you can't leave at this point. If you did, things would get worse for her. However, if she becomes difficult and more destructive and it interferes with your daily life beyond a certain point, you will have to let her go. You can't help those who don't want it, and you shouldn't be expected to be responsible for her feelings or happiness.

I used to harm myself. I did it so I knew I could feel, and to relieve stress. You just need to be a great guy for her.
-
Get her some help, she has some issues she needs to deal with in the company of a therapist.
-
She's most likely a masochist. You should try cutting her one day, and she if it turns her on
-
Help her cut herself
-
Attention.

Dump the crazy bitch.
